What we ultimately learned from self drive computer is that the vehicle 100% knew that it was about to run off the roadway, through a stop sign, through a blinking red light, through a parked car and through a pedestrian, yet did nothing other than shut itself off when the crash was unavoidable," said Adam Boumel, one of the plaintiffs' attorneys.
